Cask at Pineapple beer fest. Translucent pale gold colour with small white head which soon fades. Aroma is a bit lemony and a bit funky/sour. Taste is bit malty, actually tastes a bit like a bitter shandy. Slight bitter lemon finish. Not bad, not amazing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bellowhead Hedonism on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.

Handpull cask at the Haymakers, Cambridge. Mid-gold, clear. Slight fruity, tea-y, malty aroma. Melon, bergamot... low volume but pleasant. Sweet with a bitter orange peel note. Flat oily body. Has promise but is only a runof the mill golden really. Shame as I love Bellowhead. Drinkable but average.

Cask handpump at The Queens Head, Chelmsford. A beer named after a great band, and a great album, though the beer doesn’t quite deliver the maximized net pleasure a hedonist strives to achieve! It’s a light, summery golden ale, fruity and low in carbonation. Not bad overall.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 16/12/2012. Deep gold with a slight, white head. Easy drinking bitter with some biscuity malts, leafy hops and touch of fruit. Good.
